Most applications don't have runtime extensions. The few that do, really need them in order to be useful. I'm convinced that there's a Pareto Distribution where 20% of libraries really benefit from being dynamically loaded, where the remaining 80% is better served by static linking. Given that, it seems to me that dynamic linking should be both opt-in and properly supported, but the one that decides that should be the library maintainer.
